Diallel analysis of production traits among domestic, exotic and mutant germplasms of Lycopersicon

G. Pratta, Picardi, L. A., and Zorzoli, R., Diallel analysis of production traits among domestic, exotic and mutant germplasms of Lycopersicon, vol. 2, pp. 206-213, 2003.

The effects of wild germplasm on tomato fruit shelf life have not yet been completely evaluated. Three different genotypes of Lycopersicon esculentum (a cultivated variety, a homozygote for nor and a homozygote for rin), LA1385 of L. esculentum var. cerasiforme, LA722 of L. pimpinellifolium, and 10 diallel hybrids were assayed. Mean values of fruit shelf life, weight, shape, and mean number of flowers per cluster were analyzed after Griffing (1956, Aust. J. Biology 9: 463-493), method 2, model 1.
